On February 27th Ardupilot.org was selected as a participating 2017 Google Summer of Code organization. Sponsored by Google, The Google Summer of Code13 program (or GSOC as commonly abbreviated) is a program matching open source organizations and students interested in participating in open source development.

Spend your summer break writing code and learning about open source development while earning money! Accepted students work will work with an Ardupilot mentor, and become a part of our large and growing open source community. Many past GSOC students have become lifetime open source developers!

Google Summer of Code is open to post-secondary students, age 18 and older in most countries.

ArduPilot is a open source autopilot system supporting multi-copters, traditional helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and rovers. The source code is developed by a large community of professionals and enthusiasts. New developers are always welcome! The best way to start is by joining the Developer Team Forum, which is open to all and chock-full of daily development goodness
